(UNDATED) - Indiana is bracing for another round of severe weather that could bring strong storms and flooding to parts of northern and central Indiana late Wednesday night and into the overnight hours.
The National Weather Service has reported that parts of western and northwestern Indiana face an enhanced risk for severe weather, and that there is a slight risk for parts of northern and central Indiana. The main threats with these storms will be damaging winds, large hail, dangerous lightning, isolated tornadoes and flash flooding.
Some of these severe storms may occur overnight during normal sleeping hours. As such, it is important to take precautions in advance of severe weather, in the event that immediate action is needed.
• Consider turning up the volume on cell phone notifications. Be familiar with the notification settings of weather apps.
• In case of a power outage, charge all electronic devices fully before going to bed.
• If devices such as phones and laptops are charging overnight, be sure they are plugged into a surge protector.
Have an all-hazards weather radio near the bed or sleeping area. Keep the weather radio turned on at a volume loud enough that alerts can be heard while sleeping. Overnight alerts could provide important details about severe weather, with safety precautions to follow.
